About this listen
Intimacy isn't romance.
It isn't attraction.
And it definitely isn't harmless.
In this second part, we go deeper into the science of emotional bonding — why the human brain is wired to seek safety through vulnerability, and how that wiring can be exploited when intimacy becomes one-sided.
We break down the neurological loop behind trust, attachment, addiction, and loneliness — and why incomplete emotional bonds don't lead to happiness, but dependency.
This episode explores how modern AI systems replicate the same psychological mechanisms once used by history's most effective manipulators, and why awareness — not avoidance — is the only real defense.
This isn't an episode about fear.
It's about understanding how intimacy works…
so it stops working against you.
